The Constitutional Court on Friday scrapped as unconstitutional a recent ruling by the Kuria, which had okayed the results of the June 9 mayoral election in Budapest, according to the decision.

According to the Constitutional Court, the Kuria had failed to appropriately justify its decision to reject a request to review the National Election Committee’s decree, which had established that incumbent Mayor Gergely Karácsony had won the ballot as against contender Dávid Vitézy with just 41 votes.

Under the top court’s ruling, the Supreme Court is obliged to repeat its procedure and make a new decision.

  1. Comfortable, with this decision.
    Credit again, to the present Mayor of Budapest, the calling for, support of a “new” Election.
    The Judicial ruling, it is HOPED – conducted in CONFORMITY to the process, under DEMOCRACY – that the COUNTERS are VERY thoroughly “vetted” prior to the re-count, and that the “scrutineers” – the eyes watching, they have NO invested interest(s) in the outcome of the re-count.
    History never Lies.
    We KNOW the history, having “gutted” them, for over 14 years, of the Orban – Fidesz Government of Hungary.
    The Orban – Fidesz Government MUST not “Dabble” nor MANIPULATE – this re-count process and that BIG BIG BIG eyes watch over them, for again one of there “malignant” practices in there “vile” Political culture – to INFLUENCE by “ill-legal practice(s) – the outcome of this Mayoral election recount process.
    This recount must be Un-encumbered.
